Bennedict Mathurin 2026-27 Fantasy Outlook: Scoring Spark in New Orleans

Bennedict Mathurin joined the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason on a two-year deal and recently made his preseason debut. Entering his fifth season at age 24, Mathurin steps into a crowded rotation alongside backcourt pieces like Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson. While his roster rate has fallen to 38%, his aggressive scoring mindset provides valuable perimeter pop.

Our models project Mathurin for 21.9 fantasy points across 25.3 minutes per game, anchored by 14.2 points and 4.4 rebounds over 72 projected games. While his usage dips slightly from his 17.7 points per game mark last season in Indiana, his projected 87.0% free-throw clip stabilizes his scoring baseline.

Carrying an ADP near 121, Mathurin is best suited as a late-round scoring depth piece in standard leagues. Minutes battles against Trey Murphy III cap his standard ceiling, but Mathurin offers immediate streaming upside if injuries clear a larger offensive role.
